Welcome to Kefalonian
Roots
The general
purpose of Kefalonian Roots is to
acquaint the descendents of Kefalonians with resources
and information useful for researching their family
history.
The specific purpose of the site is to
make information and genealogical documents available to all descendents of
Kefalonians, especially those who cannot visit the island and remain for the
extended period of time required for researching, obtaining documents, and
locating their ancestral village.
To meet this purpose,
Kefalonian Roots provides
the following services: a Personal Research
Assistant on the island; a medium for communication among
users researching a specific surname; useful resource
information; and historical, cultural and religious
information concerning Kefalonia.
It is hoped that
family researchers will use this site to its full potential
by adding information about their immigrant ancestors;
surnames; family tree; and by placing topics of
interest on the bulletin board.
It is believed that through the use
of this site, descendents of Kefalonians will learn more
about their ancestors and family history; and will develop a
warm respect for their ancestors’ homeland and way of life.
